PAN Aadhaar linkage: How to check if your PAN is valid or invalid

The Income Tax Department of India issued a directive for all PAN card holders to link it with their Aadhaar card. As per the Income Tax Department, June 30 was the last date to link these two important cards.

What happens when the cards are not linked

The PAN card would become inoperative if not linked with the Aadhaar card after July 1. PAN can be verified online by filling out the details mentioned in the PAN Card such as Name, Father’s Name and Date of Birth. Additionally, it is important to note that the Income Tax Department may reject the ITR if the PAN card is not linked to Aadhaar.
